High oil prices benefit me, been in the 'biz' for 45 years, so I hereby

[karlrschneider]

pledge that I will donate 50% of any increase of my income from oil sales over $65 a bbl to progressive causes including the Crawford Peace House and any others that are geared to getting rid of the Idiot in our White House. (I will probably need the other 50% to buy the gasoline that they make from my oil...:eyes:)

3. Why Karl.... you are a veteran DU'er.... and an oilman at that. I salute

you sir. :)

[karlrschneider]

4. I don't make huge amounts of money, hardly a tycoon but have enough

to live on fairly comfortably...my oil income is from small royalties from fairly old fields that my dad and I worked on many years ago. Thanks.

5. That's great Karl

but I think the refugees from New Orleans are going to be needing money pretty badly, that may be something to look at.

9. Them old fields are (well some of them are) being looked at

again to see what might still be down there.... there are companies that specialize in just this practice.... which I am stating not for your benefit but for others.. take care.

10. My dad was an independent petroleum engineer & geologist...I worked

in oil fields since I was old enough to stick a spud wrench on a piece of drillstem pipe (8 or 9 years old...I'm 63 now) I learned how to dig a "sludge pit" with a bulldozer at age 10 and surveyed with him shortly after that. He died in 1959 but I still have some overriding royalties from the oil fields we worked in.
